Constructed of Cambridgeshire brick under a dormered roof, The Grove dates back to 1750.

The original house was modified in the mid-19th century in a Victorian Gothic style with characteristic arches throughout.

There are two further reception rooms at the front of the house – one is currently used as a welcoming snug and the other as a games room but could equally be a study or playroom.

To the rear of the property is an enviable kitchen/breakfast room with a bespoke hand painted kitchen with a wide array of shaker style units, stone work surfaces, a central island with breakfast bar and an Aga.

Off the kitchen there is well appointed pantry, large boot room with a separate entrance (and underfloor heating) and a large WC.

At first floor level there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suite) with high quality Swaddling sanitary ware.

The principal suite is entered through a large dressing room with handmade bespoke joinery, which leads into a beautiful bedroom with garden views. This exceptional space also houses an en suite bathroom with a walk in shower and twin sinks.

An additional pair of bedrooms and shared shower room on the second floor are accessed via a separate staircase.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, with a formal level lawn to the side of the house flanked by deep herbaceous shrub borders and a number of mature trees.

Another huge bonus is the range of period outbuildings. These include a former grain store and barn, plus some original stables. The outbuildings offer ample storage, and may provide some scope for conversion subject to any necessary consents.

In addition, there is a walled garden enclosing a tennis court, a small orchard, a green house installed by the current owners, a pergola seating area and raised flower beds.
